whats sad is he was probably sitting there after getting hit by a car, or crashing some how. Waiting for help with noone seeing him. I can just hope that whatever did him in, was fast and he wasnt sitting thre in agony for a long time

"Neil E. Phillips, 42, of 20 Stanley Place in Norwich, was reported missing to Norwich police in August. Police identified Phillips as the man whose remains were found Wednesday by a pedestrian in a wooded area along Route 2.

The chief state&#8217;s medical examiner examined the remains Thursday and determined no trauma or anything suspicious.

The remains were found near a bicycle about 50 feet from the road, in a wooded area just across from the Tally Ho Mall shopping center not far from the Norwich city line."
